Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think, for anybody watching at home, it's blatant that the Liberals are trying to dodge accountability here. The rationale provided to this committee.... Why wouldn't you want to provide public documents on this? I just want to read this, because I think it's timely when we have the largest federal strike in Canadian history outside the doors here.
This was to committee. It's testimony from the Canadian Union of Public Employees, and it encourages the Government of Canada to develop and implement a workforce strategy that is informed by frontline workers and child care advocates. It says a workforce strategy must result in concrete actions and deliverables on how to make the early learning and child care sector a safe, secure, well-qualified and well-compensated career option.
I'm pretty sure that's the federal government's job, and that's what we're asking for. Again, I'm not sure how many times you can say it in one committee, but it doesn't make any sense.
